Mid Kerry find an extra gear to set up Crokes showdown

FOR a few seconds the crowd erupted — the sight of Seamus Moynihan taking to the Fitzgerald Stadium turf united all Kerry club supporters.

Mid Kerry had been leading by 1-2 to 0-3 when the man they revere in the Kingdom as one of the greatest returned from SFC retirement for the first time in three years. His impact and influence was so great that even Mid Kerry genuflected for a time allowing the eastern side come within a kick of causing the biggest shock in the county championship.

“He rode in the same as anybody else,” started East Kerry manager James Sheehan before joining the congregation, “He was if not one of the greatest players, so I can’t really say anymore about him. He’s a fantastic man.”
